Can the clutch and brake positions be switched? Or maybe slid closer together or apart? Such as moving the brake closer to the gas pedal for "heel toe" racers?

What about removing the clutch altogether, then move the brake over to the far left?

As many may know, I left foot brake and could care less about having a clutch. I have modded my G25 pedal box by switching them. It is much more comfortable now for my "Jim and the boys" ;)

I've read the praises about how great the CSP's feel. Especially the brake, with it's load cell. I'm really curious as to how adjustable this pedal set may be?
 
Unlike G27 pedals CSP pedals can't really be separated from it's base. While it may not be impossible to mod them like you want it but it won't be as simple as G25/27. You will need to find some tubes to use as spacers. One problem switching brake and clutch is moving the brake knob which has to be very close to the brake pedal since the wires from the load cell are very short.

I think this is the only problem and it is not insuperable...;)
 
Setting up a simple heel-toe configuration isn't too bad. The brake pedal can be offset easily just by remounting the pedal face using a different pair of holes. I have my brake one space closer to the right. I also removed the space behind the gas pedal, so it sits an inch farther back.

You can also adjust the throw and firmness of the brake pedal. I reduced the throw, but also swapped a slightly shorter space bar from the ClubSport Pedal Tuning Kit. The feel is perfect for me.

SimHQ has a pretty good Fanatec tuning guide. Check out the section on ClubSport Pedals.
